Ian,

I haven't used tilemode, but my assumption is that the map projection block is 
used to define what the output projection for your tile is (like in the other 
MapServer modes).

Try setting map projection to epsg:3785 or using the proj4 text:

+proj=merc +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6378137 +b=6378137 
+towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

If tilemode requires a map extent, it should be expressed in units of the 
output projection.

David.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Tilemode Projection Problem

Hi everyone,

I've spent the better part of today scouring the internet for documentation and 
help on the tile mode present in mapserver, but I couldn't find an answer to my 
problem, so please forgive me if I'm missing some obvious documentation some 
where...

I am attempting to show some GeoTIFFs (from here: 
ftp://geoftp.ibge.gov.br/mapas/ortofoto/). My research says they're in 
epsg:31984.

I'm trying to use MapServer's tile mode to display them on a Google Map API 
instance, but can't seem to get any of the images to show up.

Also, why am I required to give a PROJECTION statement as a child to the MAP 
statement (what I assume is the "viewing projection") if the tile mode is just 
going to reproject to spherical mercator?

My .map file is below.

Thanks!
